You're missing the fact that the Mustang is not only faster than the Z in a straight line, but also around a track.
Nissan should be setting their aims high rather than low. Why go after the V6 when you have the capability to take down the bigger and badder V8 mustang/camaro/etc. That's what it did with the GT-R and it has earned so much recognition because of it. They could have easily had it best the BMW and Mercedes in it's price range, but instead they went after more exotic supercars that cost like 5 times as much.

INNOVATION???????? If nissan chooses to FI and reduce weight on the Z to be faster than a stang... Awesome. but dont forget what the Z is. And the Z is not and never was or should be a v8 or 4cyl.
Selling it out with a 5.6 to appease some domestic muscle-jocker is out of the question to ANY TRUE Z ENTHUSIAST.
REMEMBER THE GTR COST 106K NICELY EQUIPPED AND THE MUSTANG AT ITS HIGHEST IS 70K. gtr point not taken
Actually the shelby starts at $54,900
The nissan gt-r starts at $96,820
HUGE DIFFERENCE
